[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]look, nobody is going to care about a handful of otherwise able dyslexic students who get acccomodations on exams and standardized tests. But when it starts to get to the point where 20% of highly privileged kids claim a disability ... that becomes an issue. [/quote]

Now you're literally making stuff up to get hysterical about.  No where near 20% of kids total receive accommodations on the SAT, ACT, etc.

Nope. 7% is a nation-wide number. In affluent school districts it can be 20%. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-testing-accommodations-20120429-58-story.html[/quote]

I thought you said it was private school kids receiving accommodations.  [b]Private schools kids are typically in non-affluent school districts.   [/b]Now you are saying it is affluent public school district kids.  Which is it?[/quote]

On what planet? MoCo is one of the most affluent school districts and 35% of the kids go to private schools. I’m sure that affluent Virginia and DC school districts are similar. This is not Oklahoma...[/quote]
